OK,
Its a number of months after I asked the initial configuration question that started this thread.
This week, I finished installing the servos and internal ARINC box.
Servo ground testing is all OK.
ARINC is another matter.
The 430 says there is no incoming data on ARINC channel 1.
At the same time, I get a red box on the Horizon that says "sync with external OBS".
The ARINC data registers on the Horizon are changing so I think I am OK from a wiring standpoint.
Its only 6 wires so I will put a meter on them if I have to.
Also, the Horizon has said I need to update the ARINC software (currently ver 16 from 2004 ).
I have just finished looking for ARINC software only to come to the conclusion that it is included as part of the DU software packages as ARINC.HEX.
I am running the most up to date DU software (35g from 2012) so I assume my ARINC is out of date because the DU ignored ARINC.HEX since I did not have the module installed previously.
I HOPE that is it. I have screwed with the setup menus on both the Horizon and the 430 a lot.... I may need a rescue to get them back to normal.
Due to work travel, I won't get back to the hangar for a week. I would appreciate some comentary so I can hit the ground running and get it fixed quick (upcoming long x-c on christmas)
